Teaser PVs allowing audiences to hear the voices of these four characters have been released, showcasing a distinctive "Dandadan" style.

"Dandadan" is a non-stop occultic and bizarre battle & rom-com about a high school girl who affirms ghosts but denies aliens, and her classmate, a boy who's an occult fanatic but doesn't believe in ghosts. They encounter the yokai "Turbo-Granny" and are cursed, leading them to confront various supernatural incidents.

Serialized in "Shonen Jump+" since April 2021, "Dandadan" has become popular for its blend of occult, battle, action, romantic comedy, and youth elements, with the comics surpassing a total of 3.2 million copies. The author is also known for having worked as an assistant on "Chainsaw Man" (by Tatsuki Fujimoto) and "Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku" (by Yuji Kaku).
